Le captif pour sa gourmandise.
Le Rat regnant au cellier, rongeant tout,
Des huystres vit baillantes par ung bout:
Sa barbe y mit: & faulx os il atrappe,
Lesquelz touchéz feirent tomber la trappe,
Et le larron en prison hont tenu,
Qui par soy mesme en sa fosse est venu.[1]
Plusieurs se rendent serfz, captifz aulx bonnes
maisons: seullement pour les bons morseaulx, Plu-
sieurs aussi font leur fosse avec les dens, se procurans
mort avant eage, par exces de gourmandise.
1. This poem is a translation of Anthologia graeca 9.86.

Forza della natura.
The power of Nature.
Pan mezzo capra, & huomo, a noi dimostra
La virtute, e’l
poter de la Natura
In sino a l’ombilico
ha faccia nostra,
Ch’è; del miglior di noi fine e misura.
Il resto è capra, che dinota e
mostra
Che le spetie mantien la costei cura
D’huomini, e d’animali; o
perche al sommo
Sta la ragion, che sol distingue l’huomo.
